Part 9/13:
With the embeddings prepared, Shapiro transitioned to indexing all vectors into Quadrant, which successfully handled over 2 million articles in minutes—something his earlier tests with smaller datasets predicted accurately.
This setup allows near-instantaneous semantic search, making it practical for regular research use. The results are striking: users can input an abstract or research question, and the system returns highly relevant papers based on conceptual similarity rather than just keyword matching.
Future Features: Literature Reviews and Automated Summaries
Looking ahead, Shapiro plans to integrate automated literature review and summarization. The envisioned workflow includes:
- Collecting papers based on search results.
